Hi tonytango 

 

This is a common issue caused by an update with your Internet Service Provider.

 

All you need to do is log into you’re My Vodafone that is registered as the owner of the Sure Signal, change the Post code to another Postcode, select save and then change this back and select save, this will then update the profile.

 

Thanks

Hi tonytango,

 

If you can let us know your Sure Signal serial number, we can check this further.

Hi tonytango,

 

Sure Signal number 40122445436 is showing as registered to the RM18 postcode you posted previously.

 

Thanks,

if it is registered to rm18 then why is the location on all 3 phones linked to the sure signal box showing that we are over 100 miles away ?

Hi tonytango,

 

If you disconnect your phones from the Sure Signal, does it then show the right postcode?

 

If so, this may be down to how your Sure Signal is connected to the network.

 

It’s showing the correct postcode on your Sure Signal account, so it’s registered to the correct address.

 

Are your phones working ok from home now?

 

Thanks,

 

Gemma
